Fun at the Fair

We have gone to the Los Angeles County Fair every year for the last five years in Los Angeles. Now that we are up int he Bay Area, I was getting sad that I would miss it. However, there is the Alameda County Fair! Hooray! It was really fun to go with the kidsa couple of Fridays ago. For one, it is a lot smaller than the one in L.A., so it felt more doable. We saw pig races, the gardening exhibits, tasted honey from all over the Bay Area, learned more about beekeeping, went to the petting zoo, watched goats being milked, ate deep fried food and ice cream. It was all good. I found out also that there is a Santa Clara County Fair next month that has FREE admissiona and FREE parking. I will report back after we go (I plan to take the kids there).

In adoption news. . . well, we are still waiting to get Dave's medical report back (hopefully this week), and then our documents to BAAS (Bay Area Adoption Services) will be done! This is a huge step, and then we schedule our last homestudy visit which will be at our house. I have read a couple of books that I checked out from BAAS' library to the kids: Everyone Eats Rice, and How I Became A Big Sister (they won't be big sisters, but it is about a little girl who becomes a big sister through adoption).
